Haven’t got all my plans down yet, but they’re not going to be all that taxing either!

What beautiful plans you have! I especially like the one about being tucked away reading for hours by the fire-that is a fantasy of mine at this point, I can’t see it ever happening with 3 little ones! I am actually a bit jealous of that! I hope you see what a gift that simple quiet time is! I yearn for that these days…Merry Christmas!

You won one of the stationery giveaways on my blog, but I need your snail mail addy to send it to you — please e-mail me!
As far as what I’m looking forward to/planning…
a visit to the Governor’s mansion (all dressed up for the holidays)
Christmas Eve services, though in a plain-jane American church, not the glorious cathedrals you see there…then an elaborate dinner of 7 fish courses, something we do every year.
And some weird traditions — like a can of black olives in the Christmas stocking, to be eaten while reading the gift book(s) that year.
